My daughters and I went to the dr the day flu symptoms appeared and was prescribed oseltamivir (Tamiflu); my husband waited to go the the dr. The girls and I felt nearly 100% after 24 hours of taking it, in comparison to my husband who was very ill nearly a week. I kinda felt guilty because we recovered so quickly and he was bed-ridden for so long. My advice would be to go to the dr immediately at ... Show Full Comment

It was definitely worth it!

I went to the doctor because I was coughing, sneezing, stuffed sinuses and ears, had aches in my joints and muscles, fever, cold sweats, all the makings of a really good time, lol. They tested me for flu but it came back invalid... Whatever that means. They gave me prednisone and oseltamivir. After two and a half days of full doses: my ears and sinuses are still plugged. My head still hurts, and my ears are ringing. I'm still coughing, nose is still running, so I'm not sure what the drug has done. My fever has gone away, and no more cold sweats. But that's about it. It's been at least five days of these symptoms. I'm not impressed. Guzzling orange juice and home made chicken n rice soup is my go to, so I'm going to do that instead. It's been proven in my house by family members not getting sick or having 1-2 days at the most of sickness instead of this mess. I've never been this sick in my life!

I am currently taking Oseltamivir and it has helped to relieve my symptoms tremendously. I have not experienced one head ache before or after taking this medication. I only have experienced fever and coughing with phlegm throughout this flu.

I cant speak to the effectiveness of this drug since I will be discontinuing its use. It gave me an awful headache both times I took it and caused me to vomit excessively after about an hour or two.

It made my flu experience much better. Relieved my symptoms the second day. I also have other complications from COPD. So I also took steroids, now they make me feel bad. OSELTAMIVIR 75mg cap ALV helped my flu symptoms greatly.
